An3 Posted June 1, 2011 Share What can I use to clean my MTB's disk rotors with?I am sure Isopropyl Alcohol or Automotive Disk Brake cleaner will work but I do not have the above "in stock". Will Paint Thinners work or will it leave a residue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inusc Posted June 1, 2011 Share I just use medical alcohol swabs available at your local pharmacy or Dischem they work gr8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An3 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Sure it will work but I am too impatient to wait. I want to clean them NOW - must install new SWISSSTOP pads TONIGHT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inusc Posted June 1, 2011 Share some prepsol?! just not something like diesel or paraffin (Big F# up) because of the oily resedu the Isopropyl Alcohol might work give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitan Posted June 2, 2011 Share Use soap and water, then polish with ghrease or motor oil. I am not paying for a new boom gate...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musashi Posted June 3, 2011 Share Excuse my ignorance, but why do you need to clean them? I've never cleaned my rotors with anything other than water and a cloth. Should I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted June 3, 2011 Share I guess he needs to clean them after he worked on the wheel. Just to make sure no oil or grease got onto it. I know I do. Windolene also works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rydogg Posted June 6, 2011 Share While you're at it, give it a quick sand with some sandpaper, before you clean it. Your next 40 stops will be much quicker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wernervdmerwe Posted June 6, 2011 Share I use spirits - cheap, easily obtainable and, if times are tough, it can provide a drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
